    As the above graph shows, warming/cooling periods are cyclical.

    However, Co2 levels have never been this high. Can you find a graph with Co2 levels higher than they are now? Because every time C02 goes up, so does temperature.

    I think that was sixty million, Hootad.

    I said at the beginning, this was a show I watched on the telly. It was called Planet Earth & was on the BBC, so there may be a link to be found, I'll have a look.

    I know. That's where I admit I was wrong previously. What I'm saying now is that we don't produce enough co2 to cause a big problem. If we wasn't producing co2 we'd have a lot bigger problem than if we - potentially - have now.

    Mankind (homoerectus) was not on this planet 300 million years ago.

    As for the dinosaurs, you're right, they were wiped out 60 million years ago - I blame Global Warming

    Here's a link (I think) to the program I watched.

    BBC - Science & Nature - Planet Earth

    Nope: global chilling caused by an asteroid impact.

    I believe we do add to the problem with pollution but I still believe that volcanic activity is the biggest cause of co2 emissions.

    Unfortunately (!) I can't watch a lot of these videos everyone's linking to (crappy dial-up's too slow). But reading these arguments and remembering some things I have read on the subject brings to mind that old chestnut about "lies, damn lies and statistics". I think either side can find statistics to back up whatever the hell they want to say.

    I do think, personally, we are having an effect on global warming. Even if we're not, but we cut down on 'mankind-caused' carbon emissions, would that be a bad thing? Surely cutting down would give a win-win situation, whatever the truth? It would save some of our fossil fuels for a start...

    Mother Earth will let us know when she has had enough, NR. And then the power-mongering minions will do some more genocides and we'll be alright, as long as the nukes don't start falling. But, I think the nukes will fall...

    I tried to give you a green but I have to make this post instead.

    We can 'save the planet' as much as we like, but the whole thing is wired to explode at the push of a button & some day, somebody will press it.

    Increased in China's population means an increase in rice farming which in turn means a huge increase in methane released into the atmosphere.

    More methane than cows can fart.

    Blame the rice eating nations for not knowing about the withdrawl method.

    Global warming is a fact and there need to be taken action against it, the ones who close there eyes and only think about economic growth are indeed very naive. Another very important factor is our oceans, people are screwing up the biological system to the extreme, taking for granted that it all will rebuild itself...WRONG... That aint gonna happen..I have said this before, and I will keep saying it. Greed will be the down-fall for man-kind, we are our own worst enemy.

    China's controversial one child policy worked rather well for a while, in terms of curbing the population increase.

    You want to blame people for lack of birth control, maybe start with the Subcontinentals.

    Tried to green you for this, but as always, need to spread the love. This last sentence sums it up exactly, for me.

    I think the damage has been done; you can't reverse 150 years of grotesque air pollution with a hybrid car or some solar panels, imho.

    ^You're probably right, but that doesn't mean that there should be no damage limitation.

    The graph in Al Gore's docu show the real stats. Every time temperature goes up so does CO2, not the other way round. Someone has moved the axis for either the temp or CO2 on that graph.

    That's a pretty fatuous comparison to be drawing.

    Weather you agree with it or not Gore's work is based on interpretation of scientific data. You don't even have to agree with the interpretations and conclusions made but the one thing you can't dispute is the data itself.

    Therefore a comparison such as you've made above is pointless. If you're going to dispute it do it on the same basis - scientific data - otherwise it's completely meaningless. Even worse, it's unhelpful.

    You are right, but we might be able to buy some extra time by changing energy source, and hope the clever people can find a way to reverse the damage there have been done.
